This is an odd-metered, groove-based tune veiled behind a curtain of contrapuntal lines between the rhythm section and the horns. This tune features an alto sax solo over the form of the melody and a guitar solo over the 5/4 vamp of the first two measures followed by a remarkable bass solo, driving the tune back to the final reprise of the melody. ~Carton
